T.Y. Trip to Solas Eco Garden

This week T.Y. students visited Solas Eco Garden in Portarlington. While there, they participated in workshops on online business strategy and recycling. They also learnt how the warehouse of an online business operates from order through to delivery. They got the opportunity to pick and pack real orders and got a good insight into how stock is stored in warehouses. They also learnt how to make coffee and pizza and topped of the day eating the pizzas they had created. The lads participated excellently in all workshops and were a credit to themselves and the wider Naas CBS community. Ms. Lennon

Our TY year group is delighted to be partnering with Barretstown and their TY Residential Programme. We have a small group of students who have put their name forward to partake in the programme and help fundraise money over the course of the year. Barretstown’s Residential TY Programme is an exciting residential experience which takes place on the beautiful 500-acre Barretstown campus. Next May our group of our TY students will stay in the campus for one week. It will give them the opportunity to spend time away in a fun, safe and educational environment, learn new skills and also gives students an insight into the work undertaken by Barretstown to support children and families affected by serious illness. This morning we travelled to Barretstown for a tour of the campus, a presentation from the staff and a workshop on fundraising. A huge thanks to Ann, Lauren and Irene for facilitating us. Each student has a target of raising €500 and we will be organising several events over the course of the year. A donation link will be set up in the coming weeks and any contributions or support will be greatly appreciated!

5th and 6th Year students enjoyed a motivational talk by John Lonergan, ex-governor of Mountjoy Prison. He spoke about looking after the four pillars of wellbeing- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and he shared inspirational stories to highlight the importance of good decision-making and taking personal responsibility. Many thanks to John Lonergan for taking the time to visit Naas CBS and speak to our senior students. Thanks also to the Wellbeing Committee for organising such a worthwhile talk as part of Wellbeing Week.
Senior Volleyball

Naas CBS hosted St. Patrick's Cathedral Grammar School and Synge Street CBS for a series of pool games in Round 1 of Senior Volleyball yesterday. All three matches proved to be exciting and competitive. Despite losing the first set, Naas CBS found their rhythm to beat St. Patrick's 2 sets to 1 in the opening game. Synge Street proved too strong for St. Patrick's in Match 2 which set up a deciding final match with Naas. The final match went to a deciding third set with a spirited Naas side losing out 15-13 in an exciting contest. It was a great achievement to once again compete in schools' volleyball having not lined out in almost 20 years. The team will now prepare for Round 2 of the pool games which includes a local derby with Pipers Hill Community College. Special thanks to Ms. Fleming for her time with the team. Mr. Stephens

Our TY students braved the elements over the past two nights camping on the edge of the Blessington Lakes. They spent the day doing various outdoor activities before making their way across the lake to the campsite where we had dinner, a campfire and some fun and games! The lads were excellent and a credit to themselves and the school. Some very tired and damp heads going home this morning! A huge thanks to the teachers who travelled with us and minded the lads - Ms. C.O'Brien, Ms. Ward, Mr. O'Neill, Ms. Phibbs, Mr. Whelan and Ms. Prenderville. See attached images.

Congratulations to our 3rd Year Art Students from last year (now TY & 5th year students) who worked on a mural for the Naas Tidy Towns Committee. The students were commissioned to work on the piece during their last term. The brief required that the mural was to have a sustainable theme and be made entirely from bottle caps. Working with a design by Conn Cronin, they completed the project and the lovely artwork has now been erected at Naas Harbour (adjacent to the library) for the whole community to enjoy. Well done to all involved.
